I’m excited. Anyone else?
One of the venues is a 3-hour drive for me… and another, the following day,
is just an additional 3 hours!
Too tempting not to go to back-to-back shows!!
Will consider VIP, too.

First. I would like to say what a talented and respected person Angelica is to me–I have never met her and only know of her through this site-she is a talented artist- writer- video maker- deeply caring- helpful- funny- mega David fan all rolled up into one fantastic lady.

If it were not for her and several other ladies from this site, who made it their mission to deliver hundreds of cards, letters and gifts to David in AZ, from fans all over the US and several countries ( may I insert here that an invite and directions on how get a message or gift to David was sent to many other sites) I would not be able to say this:

SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

I received a note from David in the mail yesterday!!!! 😯
A mere one week and two days after his show.

( Insert one of Angelica’s “happy face cartwheel characters) 😛

Did I get a stamped autograph on a 8×10 glossy!
Did I get a “one size fits all” typed message of thanks!

NOOOO!!!– I received a reply in his very own hand writing!

Another SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Can’t help it!! 😉 And a thud or two!

I included a SASE in my card to him, because I asked him a couple of questions, which he graciously answered, along with saying “Hey” and thanking me for my card and support.

I would post the note-but alas I haven’t the brain power or the equipment to do so.

Now I ask you—-Does not David appreciate and revere every fan he has? I believe he reads every single card and letter–if he can take the time to reply and thank a peon like me—-I truly KNOW he does.

There is nobody like him—-nobody!!

I’ll divulge my questions later–got to run for right now (on air, of course).

American Idol runner-up David Archuleta has announced he will do a Christmas tour again this year. He will make a stop 7 p.m. Dec. 4 in Stroudsburg, Pa., at the Sherman Theater.

Archuleta performed at the Sherman in 2009 in support of his album, “Christmas from the Heart.” The now 20-year-old pop singer gained fame from his 2008 American Idol stint and maintained the wave the same year after releasing his self-titled debut album boasting his mainstream hit “Crush.”

In the past, I have always got right in at the posted time, so I will assume its ET. I am ET and it is now 2:30. If you want to start trying for the 3pm start in 30 min, it cant hurt, right? The site will let you in when the timer is official. It will say BUY NOW in the right column.

Also, be sure you are logged in to the site, see top right of page. Enter your email and you can reset password (if your forgot it) by clicking “forgot password”.

Yipee! I got a note from David today. Thank You Sandybeaches for delivering my card!!!!!!! I got my Iowa postcard back today with a note and signature.
Thanks to Djfan, Angelica, Silverfox, Sweetonda for orgainizing everything. I wasn’t able to go because of my niece’s 16th birthday party but also appreciated Abrra,Bebe,Betsy and others who made it possible for us to see the videos, read the recaps and for all they do to keep us informed.

hello to all the girls in the voice. Two days ago, I am sick and had not come to read the comments.
I am sad because Angelica has deleted her post.
I always, I felt privileged to be a guest in this house and have always been respected. Sometimes I do stupid jokes chat on some nights. Some of the girls told me to shut up, but I’ve never angry,
Abrra, Bebereader, Angelica, steno or Djafan always led me to participate in the talks. Also, I have always received favorable responses to my comments.
girls, who speak Spanish, Djafan, gayle, they know of my crazy theories about David, but more importantly, they listen. I have also spoken many times with steno and we understand very well despite the language barrier.
Some fans think that David is surrounded by a thin ice floor, which should not be trampled, you should not cross.
Unfortunately for David, since he decided to participate in a reality, a part of his life that will always be published and cometary object.
Some writers like Angelica have that special touch, that special vision to go beyond that layer of ice and expose some of those ideas that we have.
Mrs. Barbara has said that david is good, too, that’s their vision. I’ve often thought the same.
I have also thought that David should say NO, more times than he said yes.
All views, all comments are respectable, while a limit is not breached, and I think anyone in this blog has transferred limits.
I think I can say, write, but david intimate and private, only known people in his inner circle and his friends, We can only access part of the life of David, the public part.
Therefore, our comments or articles on the always will be a bit incomplete.
Hopefully my English is so good for you to understand and comprehend. Freedom of speech is so precious and valuable. The countries that at some point, suffer from this deficiency, we know that freedom of expression is a divine gift.
Angelica, I want to see, read and enjoy something you’ve written again.
Always have my support.

Hello…I’m trying to spread the word to suggest that we maybe help…spread the word re: the tour and VIP. lol. Since David no longer has a label or professional mgmt., I’m a little concerned about how much promo there will be. Twitter can be a great promotional tool…*hint* 🙂

I won’t be making it to any of these tour stops, but I’m happy for those of you who are. I’m seeing alot of excitement on Twitter already…

Abrrasaid

VJ
Not to worry. ILAA will promote the tour shows. They have a vested interest in those they sign on with. I see them all over the net and twitter on a daily basis. His last CFTH tour was very successful.

I was not near him, I saw from afar, at a concert, he was with his musicians and he had a guitar in his hands ..
His musicians were helping to put the guitar. David was in the middle of the stage, the band went and left alone with his guitar, David looked to the public, then smiled and ………………… …………….. dang dang, and I woke up.
¿¿We have a surprise in the tour???

silverfoxsaid

Awww, I’m so thrilled for Dakgal & Heidijoy for receiving a prompt reply from David. The joy and excitement emanating from your comments is what David does for his fans. I’m so happy for you both. There have been others who have also received replies from David as well and I have to wonder..WHEN did he have the time? He’s just a wonder!

Thank you Angelica & Djafan for all the tour information posted.

He is happy beyond words to be doing his “My Kind Of Christmas” tour and if this tour is even half as good as CFTH, it will be awesome! I’m waiting and hoping for added venues closer to me…Nashville or Cincinnati would be great! Or the Chicago area would also be within driving distance! I guess I will have to keep my fingers crossed.

I wonder if Beaver Creek will be the Finale? I would have guessed that SLC would have been the Finale, but I guess not, unless they add another show there after Beaver Creek. Anyway, happy for the fans who already are making their plans to see David in what will UNDOUBTEDLY be THE CONCERT OF THE SEASON!!

tawna21said

Hey Heidijoy #14– Are you from Iowa? I was in Iowa last week!:) We stayed in Ft. Madison for 3 nights while visiting Nauvoo across the river. Can I just say, I’ve never seen that much corn and soybeans in my life!!:) It was exciting to actually see the cornfields that I’ve heard about, but never had the privilege of seeing. The weather was gorgeous.

SLC!! YESSS!! Lots of questions in my head right now, and just a couple of days to answer them. Oh Abs, I so badly want to come back east for one. We passed by Beaver Creek, CO on our way back east last week. It’s a beautiful place, but I’m not so sure I could brave the ride if it’s snowy. Those mountain roads cause me some real (I mean real) anxiety. I commented to my husband that the residents of Colorado are to be commended for their bravery in tackling those highways and byways. 🙂

One more thought,,,, could David’s smile have been any bigger or brighter than it is in his vblog?! His smiley, squinty eyes are just sparkling with excitement! Hearts and hugs to him right now for the pure joy that he is feeling!! ♥♥

Abrrasaid

I am waaaay far east of Colorado LOL December on the east coast is usually pretty decent. Nothing too messy happens before late December. I am mincing my words so as not to awaken the S_ _ W gods 😉 The storm that hit in 2009 CFTH tour was one of those “perfect storm” things.

I know what you mean about traveling thru the mountains. in the mid 70’s we took a cross country trip and someone ( not me)got the bright idea to go up the auto road of Mt Evans in CO. Yours truly sprawled out on the back seat, refusing to look out any windows. High anxeity and air sickness was not fun LOL The best part was discovering we were almost out of gas and had to coast down the the mountian on the outside of the path. At the bottom there was a gas station within sight that we managed to roll to.

Heidijoysaid

#27 Yes Tawna-I’m from Iowa. I live closer to the Mississippi river in the Quad Cities. Ha! Yes we do have cornfields. I have family near the Ft.Madison area. Glad we had nice weather while you were here.

I checked out all the East flight, California and Beaver Creek but they all have drawbacks from here. May wind up back in SLC unless we get some Midwest dates. It’s exciting and nerve wracking.

sweetonDAsaid

I have received emails from many of the fans who sent letters, cards and gifts to David who have received back replies to them. A few said theirs were postmarked from Arizona, so he did some that weekend while he was still in the area. He is just so thoughtful and I’m so happy that so many have heard from him. He makes my ♥ sing!

So far it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it to any of the shows listed. Too many conflicting things going on with family, but I still have hope that maybe something will work out. Too bad that Anaheim show is on the 17th. I’ll be in that area around the 21st, but can’t do it so close together.

Djafan, I’m counting on you having video for me. 🙂

SF, You are so right, he is looking very happy to be doing this tour. I loved the last Christmas tour. It was my favorite one.

Angelica {{{{{Hugs}}}}} You are much loved by many, including me! I was so honored to have met you in AZ.

Happy to say that DJB, Davidfan4life and I are set for Westbury and NYC. Dancing in the streets has commenced.Since there is a week open dare I think that boston and chicago and hopefully maybe a Canadian date will be added. Exciting stuff! River

SandyBeachessaid

River…See you all in Westbury!!! For some reason I am drawn to the opening night excitement and it is pretty close to home, well better than some locations!! I will have David Archuleta bracelets with me for!!

SandyBeachessaid

I am going to miss SLC!!! Last December in SLC has me spoiled for a lifetime, a high I can’t come down from.

Heidijoy, I didn’t have my address on anything that was in the Sport’s Bag, kinda wish that I had put it there somewhere with one of my notes!! You have a treasure!

I am going to miss seeing everyone from the SLC area, Tawna, Shawna, Claudia, Pattirae and Heidijoy were all there. If David had two SLC concerts earlier in December then that would have been perfect. Sometimes he plans another SLC or Provo concert.

pocoelsysaid

I can feel you guys excitments through my computer haha, this make me excited too though I obvoiusly cannot attend any of the concerts 😦 , will wait for the fans’ videos and may be just may be David would consider making DVD for this concert available for sale, “David Archuleta live in concert, My kind of Christmas concert “, sigh… a girl can dream !!! nobody performs live better than him !!!!, so happy for you all :).

Dak, Heidi, sweetonDA so excited and happy for you that you get reply from the man himself, I would flip and faint if I get that in my mail. David is so good and never waste his time to show his gratitude toward his fans, have no choice but to love and adore him.

Love his vlog he looked so happy his smile really is a killer 🙂 Abrra the queen of screen cap that vid’s shouting out for you (like a flash in the dark) to make some screencaps, please…

tawna21said

Abrra #28, yeah I know you’re way up there in the corner of great seafood country (by the way, I had a crab quiche last week that I actually liked)..that’s what I was referring to as going east…I would love to do a NY show, but hubby doesn’t think that’s a probability (is that a word?) if we do SLC with VIP, as we would probably be getting 5 tix to it. (cough cough)

I did one of those CO mountain trips where my oldest son and I shared the backseat face down. He and I don’t even laugh about it now, it’s still a trauma we haven’t gotten over after 20 years.

Heidijoy—we’d love to have you come to Utah!!

SB, you will be missed here in Utah 😦 you really will.

Bebe, thanks, home is where my heart is.

Dayzee….Where are you??? What you thinkin’ girlfriend???!! 🙂

We all need to keep our fingers and toes crossed for you guys in the middle…surely there are some open venues and dates that can be arranged for. *crossed fingers & toes*

emmegirlsaid

Tawna21, I’m only 150mi from Vail, but if there is a storm in the high country it might as well be 1500mi. Missed last year’s show for that very reason. Getting my tickets first thing Thursday morning and as everyone else, keeping fingers crossed.

I don’t know anyone who delights in and appreciates life more than he.

Heidi Joy, the venue is right across the street from the Plaza Hotel where we stayed last Dec. Everything is so convenient. But the lowest plane fare I can find so far is around $400 RT. Last yr I got it for $189 RT. Knowing the fare will probably go down like last yr, still hoping for a KC concert!

tawna21said

Heidijoy and Jans11, this venue is so accessible to so many hotels and it is a gorgeous symphony hall. You would love it. I fully understand your airfare situations, and I hope it will come down. And yes, as much as I would LOVE to meet you and visit with you, you do deserve some concerts back where you are. 🙂

Very happy for all of you going to the My Kind of Christmas Tour! Christmas shows three years in a row! This is getting to be a beautiful tradition for David and fans. He radiates pure joy in that vlog. Congrats to Heidijoy and Dakgal for getting a reply from him too! What a prince!

I want to express my sincere gratitude for each one of you who took the time to give words of support by email and comments on this site and others. I just don’t think I can thank you guys enough or make you understand in mere words how much that meant to me these past two days. I have thanked God for you all, including those who disagreed because you have a right to your opinion too, even if some of you didn’t think I had a right to express mine. These past couple of days have not been easy, but my skin has grown thicker and my heart softer from the experience. I am cognizant too, of the fact that no matter our differences or sensitivities, we are each, in the end, motivated by love for one exceptional young man who has changed us all, for good.

#49 Tawna21…No, I’m from Kansas City, Kansas. If he comes to KC, I’m only about 10 min away. I was at the Hall there in SLC last yr and seen Kurt Bestor there. It’s very beautiful. The whole city is. I enjoyed my visit there very much. It would be fun to visit again, but I just pd for air to go to AZ, so would like it to be closer. But, never say never!! lol I met a lot more great fans from SLC when in AZ and it would be fun to meet up with all the fans that I have met from there.
Heidi Joy, I will leave a request…maybe he’ll take pity on us!! haha
Angelica, So glad you are feeling better about things. Was glad to meet you in AZ and you are a very caring David fan. That’s why the whole situation got to you the way it did. God Bless you.

pocoelsysaid

Whatched his vlog again and I have to say “hat off” to Mr. David Archuleta at the age of 20, he puts together his own concert tour without any help from any labels and I assume all expenses must be from his own pocket!!!!. It’s risky I think but yeah he goes ahead do it for you all anyway, this speaks volume how much he cares, loves and believes in his fans. He is one brave, courageous, go for it …young man, my respect for him is off the chart.

I hope it will be a sucessful tour, sell out, sold out whatever is the right grammar lol…

Gayle122890said

I could kick myself for not putting a return address on my letter to David. It did cross my mind for a second, but I just never thought that he would actually…Oh heck, I’m just happy knowing that he did get out gifts and cards and letters and I’m really happy for everyone who got a reply from him! He’s such a sweetheart for responding. Just love him.

“Felt like magic today!” <<< Hope we get to share in The Wizard's creation soon.

About the vlog screencap: He has his star on one side, and his faith on the other. Just had to say that.

ascphilsaid

Happy birthday, Angelica!!! Sending you my sincerest best wishes for a great day!

Just chimed in to share in the happiness of David and the magic in his music. Love his tweet, too!

I’m also ecstatic for those who will be going to concerts of his MKOC tour in December.
Please send him our love from Asia. We miss him a lot and hope we could also be blessed with his Christmas tour some time in the near future.

Blueberry Icesaid

Just wanted to thank you all for your kind comments regarding my recap … you guys are the best!

Angelica; You have my sincerest appreciation for your genuine efforts in Arizona on behalf of all us fans … when we briefly met, I saw and felt the inner beauty of who you are and know how much you care for the one we all support so loyally. Wishing you a wonderful b-day filled with the best of everything and more … love ya! Hope to see you again at one of the X-Mas shows!

So excited for the tour dates and hoping there are more dates for those states in the middle and perhaps Canada too! Let’s make it sold out! Who’s all going?

I was thinking this as I watched David’s X-Mas vlog. In my support for David, I will continue to hope for all that is bright with his future, have faith in who he is and his vision, dwell little on things that I can’t control and keep on celebrating what I have already experienced which is a blessing beyond words! Can I say how thankful I am to be a fan!

MunkFODsaid

Excited for the Christmas Tour! Great future ahead for David! loved to hear about his writing session yesterday. When David says he feels good and has an unexpected writing session… wow…things are great! yay!

skydancer1xsaid

59.Betsy, that tweet brought such a big smile to my face, I agree, has to be the best ever♥

And his vlog. I can’t stop watching it, and him.
How is it David, that seeing your smiley, happy, face,and sparkly eyes bring so much joy to me everyday? He has the best gosh darn beautiful smile I have ever seen on anyone’s face ever! It’s an amazing thing, of such ‘beauty’. I know he has been told that, like, probably all of his life, but it is the taaaruth! ahhh some days the whole beautiful package wrapped up in that smile, is more than I can manage.

SandyBeachessaid

{{{Happy Birthday Angelica}}}…I imagine that a beautiful cake will appear here sometime today! Hope it is big enough for everyone! A case of Dr. Pepper over here please!!!

I mentioned that the bracelets that have replaced the ones without lettering have arrived and over the next two days I am sending them out. If you wish one please write to me at thevoiceschat@yahoo.ca

I am waiting to hear from a couple of other sites who are requesting them as well. After that, they will be taken to The Voice friends in Westbury and other fans who wish one. The fellow I ordered them from added another 50 because of the mistake…

Have a great fall day and this is my favorite time of year leading up to Christmas! The fellow with the wood is dropping it off in the driveway for our fireplace. This is definately not Arizona weather.

Your dedication to this site and love for David and his music is admirable. I will always champion your right to speak your mind as you always do in the most respectful way. I may not always agree with everyone who posts but I do value this very basic belief that we have in this country. Thank you for your courage and continued support. Way to go comadre! lol

cbsaid

Dear Angelica, Happy Birthday! My Birthday wish for you is to feel what David felt yesterday, “Felt like magic today! I just feel good, and I love music.” I have felt magic and joy because of David, and in spite of some hard times (and there have been some) it is all worth it isn’t it? Today, I wish you both all the happiness you so greatly deserve. You are loved.

SandyBeachessaid

#67 Skydancer…Here is my address so that you can get my postal address thevoiceschat@yahoo.ca I have a lot of emails to answer and I need to stamp them so the cost to ship to you is $1.00 I am going to ask the admins. to please place that address on the sidebar perhaps with the pic of the bracelets because I would like all of the commenters here who come from any site to have one if they wish before his opening concert in Westbury.

It seems like they have 2 choices for VIP, one being a general admission. I’d take the regular VIP where you get an assigned seat. Also, are you assuming that its for Amex because when you go to the payment its the first name in the drop down menu for method of payment? You can pay with any popular credit card.

You can call about tickets offered by ILoveAllAcess 1-888-458-8297 The young lady that answers is very patient and helpful. I know cuz I called her 4 times in 5 min LOL

Happy Birthday Angelica! Just delurking to say that you are my favorite David blogger and i love your sense of humor and style, even if i dont agree with everything you say,i have a lot of respect for you. Hope you have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGELICA!!! I am so glad we were able to meet up at the AZ lunchen and chat.. For anyone who is wondering, Angelica, with her blonde hair and glowing skin and beautiful smile, even looks like a little angel.

Abrrasaid

We hope you feel a part of the community of David’s fans and continue to join the discussions here. I often think what would this place be if there were only lurkers. Talking about our favorite singer is so easy, right?

marciamisaid

Wishes for a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Angelica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (those are candles – you are now 20 like David)

It’s a great day to have a birthday – hope you had lots of yummy chocolate on chocolate cake!

David wrote, “It all goes back to the basic idea of sharing” – “That is really at the heart of everything I stand for”

“A gift is something that passes from one hand to the next, as a gesture of goodwill, as an act of compassion and love.”

Thank you Angelica for sharing your thoughts and feelings and trusting us to reveal your heart and soul. You are a gift to The Voice and to David and to the fans who share your love for him. Thank you for giving us the gift of your love.

Life has kept me captive the past few days and denied me my late-night “Voice Therapy”. Fortunately, I hopped on just in time to wish Angelica a Happy Birthday! (It’s still the 28th here in Mountain Standard Time!) I hope your day was wonderful! I obviously missed something the past few days. I’m not sure what was said or what happened, but Angelica, I have always loved your heart-felt, beautiful, and often humorous writing. Many times throughout this difficult year, your words have lifted my spirits, made me laugh, and given me much to think about.

And Tour Dates!!!! Cedar City totally surprised me! I know I’m probably the only one excited about that venue!…only 45 minutes away! Hopefully a few more dates will be added for those fans in the Midwest and the South.
